So that's FOUR people unceremoniously stripped off of Mueller's team. Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Sally Moyer, and one other person as yet unidentified.
Remember when I told you people were INVESTIGATING THE INVESTIGATORS the entire time Mueller was forming his team? 🤔
Mueller has not only found nothing he can use to hurt Trump with, he's had 4 people pulled off his team in the last year. And we now have a report that altered 302 interview forms are being investigated by the OIG.

Also people are misreading this statement from Strzok's lawyer. Strzok was escorted from the FBI building as part of the ongoing examination process that he is FULLY COOPERATING WITH.
People saying he's not cooperating/stopped cooperating = wrong.
Strzok and his lawyer are at least PRETENDING he's fighting to keep his job as an FBI agent. "I'm cooperating, whaddya mean I can't be an FBI agent any more?!"
If he was dumb enough to think he'd remain in the FBI when this was over, he knows better now.
When an FBI agent is stripped of credentials and terminated, for violating procedures as well as laws, there is a protocol that is followed. Right up until he had to follow it, maybe Strzok was fantasizing he'd somehow avoid this.
Remember the text messages with Page show this guy has the mental level of a teenager.
Maybe like McCabe, up until the VERY END he figured they'd never go through with actually FIRING him.
Could be the moment Stzrok realized he'd be fired he told his lawyer 'start talking'.
And of course there's the possibility that all the way through this Strzok has NEVER cooperated and I've been wrong, they've been having to isolate him and treat him as a hostile witness the entire time.
And when they were done with him started the OPR firing process.

You know how a jet fighter launches chaff to throw the enemy off the target?
I'm halfway convinced it was the **TRUMP TEAM ITSELF** in the White House sending out people to be anonymous sources spreading these "OMG Kushner is an IDIOT!" stories in the Fake News Media.
Trump is a master of information warfare.
If anybody started putting 2 and 2 together and snooping around what Kushner was up to, I can totally see the White House sending people out to anonymously seed the media with stories like...this:
All the anonymous sources were in agreement: this Kushner guy is just benefiting from having married Trump's daughter, he's in way WAY over his head, has got no clue what he's doing.
The only thing **different** about how Comey won't answer the questions put to him by these Congressional commitees [other than the standard "I don't recall"] is he won't be saying:
"I can't comment on that because it's currently part of an ongoing federal investigation."
Instead Comey will be saying THIS:
"On the advice of my legal counsel, I invoke my Fifth amendment rights."
or
"My counsel has advised me not to discuss this, and so I won't."
To people endlessly asking me if President Trump is aware of and taking steps to combat this whole "Color Revolution" playbook:
Yes, he is aware of it.
Yes, he is taking steps to deal with it.
No, he's not going to tell you what they are.
The biggest assumption people make is because Trump hasn't **publicly rolled out** his strategy for dealing with this threat that is all over the media & we're all talking about it is because....he's blind to it.
I've had to endlessly explain this for going on 2 years now:
While the investigation is ongoing, you wouldn't learn anything from subpoenaing these goons because they'd do what COMEY & STRZOK & Mueller & everybody else did when they testified before Congress.
Right?
How many times did you want to hear over and over
"I'm sorry I cannot answer that question because the matter is currently under investigation by the Dept. of Justice" or the dozen of variations to that?
Because THAT'S what you would have heard before now.
